This one shot is a lighter side to Klaus, i used some of his quotes from TVD but the story line is different.

I own nothing.


Caroline was stood on Wickery Bridge watching the water flow by below her, she leaned against the railing and let her hair fall beside her face, she liked coming here and listening to the water it calmed her thoughts and today her thoughts were clouding her mind. She had just been dumped by Tyler, she thought back to what he had said to her a few hours ago,

"Care, we just don't work anymore, I think it's best if we go back to being friends"

Caroline had her suspicions it was to do with that new werewolf in town Hayley but she had remained dignified and agreed and even hugged Tyler goodbye, but now after it had sunk in Caroline was miserable and wanted answers. She was so wrapped up in her thoughts that she hadn't heard the footstep approaching her until she saw Klaus stood next to her,

"Not thinking about jumping are you, love?" He said and turned to face her, she continued to look ahead and shook her head in response; she wasn't in the mood for their banter today,

"What's wrong Caroline?" He sounded genuinely concerned so took a deep breath before saying,

"Tyler dumped me"

"Ah" Was all he responded which made Caroline mad,

"I know you're probably very happy right now so if you're going to gloat please just go away" she hadn't looked at him and wasn't going to, she watched as the water continued to flow under the bridge and down towards the falls,

"Sweetheart, do you really think that low of me?"

Caroline sighed and shook her head, whispering, "No"

Klaus placed one of his hands over hers on the railing and she didn't pull away but asked,

"You've been around for ever, have you ever met a couple who have stayed in love? Or does it always fall apart?"

"I don't think I'm the right person to be asking about love Caroline"

Caroline knew she wouldn't get an answer to her question, she knew all couples separated eventually, just like her parents did, so she nodded and began to stand up straight; she moved her hand out of his and said,

"Good bye Klaus" before starting to walk in the opposite direction, she stopped when Klaus was suddenly in front of her and said,

"Yes" she looked up and met his eyes; she didn't hide her confusion as she asked,

"What?"

"Yes, I have met a couple who have been together for 330 years" Caroline looked into his eyes to see if she could see any trace of a lie but she found nothing, she didn't know whether he was telling the truth or just trying to cheer her up, but either way she was grateful,

"Really?"

"Yes, they were together throughout their human lives and both turned when they were 58 years old, they've stayed together ever since"

Caroline couldn't help but feel curious as to how he knew the couple or whether they were people he had used in his past to get something he wanted, maybe even threatened them,

"How do you know them?"

"I was the one who turned them"

Caroline raised her eyebrows her mouth fell open a little, that was an answer she hadn't expected,

"Come and sit with me and I'll explain it all to you" he gestured toward a bench just off the bridge and Caroline followed him, they sat next to each other and Caroline turned her face to watched Klaus as he stared off into the distance and said,

"I met them when they were human, I was running from Mikael and he had almost caught up with me, all my siblings were in their coffins at this point and so I was alone, I came across their house on the outskirts of a small town in Germany and asked if I could stay with them for the night, the woman agreed without having to be compelled so I made sure they didn't let Mikael in and eventually stayed with them for 4 days, they were kind and accepted me even when they learnt I was a vampire, after that I visited them throughout the decades until one day they told me they wanted to turn, I did it as a way of thanking them for their kindness toward me"

Klaus hadn't looked at Caroline throughout his story and she was glad, why would you thank someone by turning them into a vampire, she had never met anyone who had turned willingly so didn't understand it,

"Why did they want to turn? I mean living forever isn't as great as it sounds"

"Think of it this way Caroline, they now have forever to spend with each other, they travel the world and are no longer bound by trivial human conventions"

Caroline thought about it, they turned for love.

"Thank you" she whispered smiling at him slightly, he turned to face her and said,

"Tyler was a fool to let you go Caroline; you're beautiful, strong and full of light"

She smiled again and stood up, she took a few steps before turning back to him and saying,

"What are their names?"

"Sophia and Lukas" he replied and smiled slightly before she nodded and carried on walking, smiling to herself knowing love did exist.
